Trash Squad Day 5 - TRUTH OR DARE

[chinhotta]

Mornin' sweethearts! Come on down to the cafeteria!

[ Today the cafeteria looks different again, most of the tables cleared out and the space full of pillows, blankets, and love sacs of various sizes. Around the time everyone gets there, Vanilla pops up in the front of the room.. ]

Do you know what one of the most important things in a relationship is? Honesty! Do you know what some others are? Trust! Self-confidence! Communication! A sense of adventure! Sexual compatibility!

...What was I talking about? Oh, right! Today's event is truth or dare! You know how it works! Find someone and ask them if they want a truth or a dare! If they pick truth, ask them any question and they have to tell the truth. If they pick dare, tell them do do anything and they have to do it. Then it's their turn. Try to ask around!

And... I've got something special for you!

[ Vanilla pulls a sheet off a table to reveal a bunch of tiny plastic bottles, each about the size to hold one sip of liquid. ]

The blue ones are Vanilla's Famous Vanilla-Flavored One-Shot Truth Serum! One truthful statement guaranteed! The red ones are Sarsaparilla's Tequillas! Pure liquid courage - give yourself the extra kick you need to get out of your comfort zone!

...You don't have to drink these if you trust each other and are confident in yourself, but in the spirit of honesty in our relationship, I'm willing to make a trade. If all these shots are drunk by nighttime, I'll give you proof the people eliminated and disqualified are safe!

[ The truth serum, as you would expect, makes you tell the truth. The "tequillas" aren't actually alcoholic, but they do make you feel much braver. Both generally only last the length of one answer/dare, but some of them might last a little longer... chinchillas don't practice good quality control. ]

—Oh, by the way! Your scores are displayed in your tablets now! They don't include your second dates yet, but we'll keep them updated!

[pause]

I really do... it sneaks up on you. You're reading it, and you just think "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong," until all of a sudden the descriptions are becoming more gross and the scenes are becoming more tense... if you know it's a horror book it's even better because the scenes start so sweetly you just know the horror is waiting for you. It really amplifies the anxiety and unease you might feel... knowing that eventually the other shoe is going to drop, even as you start to get wrapped up in the characters and their interactions...

[counterfaith]

My, I'll have to make sure it's light out when I'm reading, or else - I'm sure I'll get spooked. I'm the sort who is easily frightened, unfortunately. . .

[slice_of_life]

Ah, s-sorry... of course I wouldn't... inflict it on you or anything... I j-just... since we were talking, I...

[...]

[counterfaith]

No no, it is myself who would be doing that to myself. I'm intrigued by your passion!

[slice_of_life]

...This was a mistake...

[counterfaith]

. . . Mm? Yuri-san?

[slice_of_life]

No, I'm sorry, please. You can't read it, it'd... it'd be much too offensive for someone like you, Shirou... and then you'd... hate me by extension...

[counterfaith]

. . . Now, perhaps it might be a little bit out of my taste, but I would not hate you for that, Yuri-san.

[slice_of_life]

...Really?

Do you promise...?

[counterfaith]

Really, I promise.

[slice_of_life]

[breathes a sigh of relief]

W-Well, I've got the only copy... and it's in French...

[counterfaith]

I see. . . Do you mind if I borrow it? I have a little difficulty reading in French, but I'm sure I could read it with a dictionary.

[slice_of_life]

Ah... actually... I'm really sorry. I promised I'd read it with Sonia... we haven't quite... done that, yet.

I m-mean, I'd like to, and maybe... I can give it to you after...? We're just waiting for an opportunity...

[counterfaith]

Well, that's fine. I don't mind waiting.

Ah, I'll pick dare, by the way.

[ and, grabbing a vial for himself ]

[slice_of_life]

...You already wrote such a nice poem...

It feels a little unfair...

[pause]

But you really did think fast...

[hmm...]

Okay, maybe this is too hard, but...

Try having a conversation with someone... without using the letter 'e'.

...If that's too hard, try having a conversation without using 'I' to refer to yourself.

...Do it until they realize you're doing it.

...

Is that okay?

[counterfaith]

. . . E might be difficult, but I can certainly do "I". I'll keep that in mind while I'm talking to someone.

Truth or dare, then?

[slice_of_life]

I did truth so... dare?

[counterfaith]

Mmm. . . Please give a heart-felt compliment to three people.

[slice_of_life]

That shouldn't be a problem... beyond... finding three people...

Um... thank you, for always being so nice?

[counterfaith]

[ oh yeah he's a people ]

Ah - it is only what all people are due. Thank you for thinking of me, though.

[slice_of_life]

You've really done a lot for everyone though... the breakfast and tea and being so nice... beyond just being a good listener, though you're that too.

...You're welcome.

[counterfaith]

A-ah, you're much too kind with your praise . . . I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed. Thank you, Yuri-san . . .

I'll pick truth for my next one.

[slice_of_life]

Ah... Well I suppose if I must...

Have you ever been in... love?

[counterfaith]

[ taking a drink from a vial, first ]

Yes.

[slice_of_life]

Was it... a happy experience?
